Quote: Fishermanscap "No, but we can still put a spike in their wheel should they want to develop further, has it gone to appeal yet.
Morally they won't give a toss but on pragmatic grounds, they may well stump up some cash, don't know how much to get us to shut up.
Its all wrong because they should pay for the lot and in a perfect world neither WMDC or the club should have backed down, Sadly this is the real world and the clock is ticking on us, we can't fob people off forever. The club has no choice but to take what's on offer, the alternative is to go under IMHO opinion and thats not worth it om a principle.
As I say if they are contributing I don't know how much or in what form. What I do know is that if the club are funding the bulk then every little counts. If YC were to stump up say 15% and WMDC or the FA or whoever coughs up a similar amount thats 30% paid for in advance meaning any loans required would hopefully attract better rates and more support from the banks.
I know I'm being optimistic and its pure speculation but I can't see MC & co not getting something from those who owe us but maybe they haven't who knows.
Fingers crossed, a new stand is way short of what we are owed but it will get us off the mark at last and considering the last major development at BV was in the 1950's I believe (old south stand) it's well overdue.
Finally, let's be honest, a million pounds from YC would be good value to them to get us out of the picture, they may do it because its good business and NOT out of any sense of decency.'"
I don't think they appealed. Box got rid of the decenting councillors on the planning committee and they approved a new application. If it hadn't been already with Newcold, a precedent has well and truly been set now.
